This monastery complex, where Cistercians once prayed and worked day after day, even as a ruin still provides impressive evidence of the magnificent architecture. This monastic order (the order's Latin name is "Ordo Cisterciensis") takes its name from the French town of Citeaux in Burgundy, where the first monastery was founded in 1098. It is a reform branch of the Benedictines.

Even if we always use the term “St. James Way” in the singular in the German language, there is no such thing as “one”. Rather, it is a network of many Ways of St. James that runs through several European countries and then concentrates on a few main routes in Spain (the most famous is the "Camino Frances", which leads from the Pyrenees through the north of Spain). However, in order to get from the south of Spain to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, a different route is required, which JavierCR and DennisKe have already described briefly.

The population of Granja de Moreruel was born by the impulse of the Monastery of Santa María, raised by the eagerness of the Leonese monarchs to colonize extensive wastelands. Granja de Moreruela also has a church built in the mid-19th century, the Church of San Juan. Its term is crossed by the old Vía de la Plata, the Camino de Santiago de la Vía de la Plata and its variant, the Camino Mozárabe or Sanabrés. There is a Pilgrims Hostel.

One of the most beautiful and magnificent Cistercian monasteries in the province of Zamora is the Cistercian Monastery of Santa Maria, in the municipality of Granja de Moreruela. The monastery preserves the size of the imposing Cistercian abbey ordered to be built by Alfonso VII. Built at the end of the 12th century, it is in the Romanesque style with elements of transition to Gothic. The chancel is the largest part of the complex, formed by a superposition of levels: apses, a polygonal ambulatory and the central apse. The walls of the Monastery are used by white storks to breed
